Sure, no problem :-)
I usually use the interactive interface of "aptitude," but your
preferred package manager (apt-get, synaptic, ...) will do.
Yes. You would do so by issuing these commands:
aptitude update
aptitude install php5-ldap

Install php5-ldap and check that /etc/php5/conf.d/ldap.ini is as you
want it, then restart apache2.
Note, I'm assuming you're using Etch and PHP5.

Hi all
I have installed Apache-2 the "Debain way" for the first time. It went
basically ok, but I can't get PHP to login from an external LDAP server.
The script generates "Fatal error: Call to undefined function
ldap_connect() in SCRIPT on line NR".
What I did was starting from a minimal Debian installation ran

This is not true as you have stated it. When you install grub to the
master boot sector of the windows drive it overwrites the windows
installer, not the whole windows partition, it is still possible to boot
windows.
The common way to set this up is to have both disks installed so that,
at first, the PC boots into windows as normal. Then install Debian, in

Re: can I boot debian without a grub loader?

Probably. Part of the difficulty is the fact tht we (and kraleigh,
presumably) do not know the exact partition name that can be feed to
grub as the parameter to the `root' command, in order to get the ball
rolling.
Kraleigh could also venture a guest on the right `root' parameter; he
could start from (hd0, 0) to (hd0, 1), etc. and try auto-completing

There is no need for kraleigh to reinstall.
Kraleigh, you're probably going to learn a lot more about Grub than most
newbies have to so early :-) The "grub>" prompt is the Grub command line
from which you can tell Grub to boot your desired O/S. Read the Grub
manual to get a feel for what you'll need to do:

If you're lucky and the Debian installer has set up a symlink /vmlinuz
then you can find the information you need by typing
find /vmlinuz
at the grub prompt. You might also try find /initrd.img to see if the
kernel has in initrd file that needs loading.
Let us know what it says and we can give the the correct sequence of

Sorry for the delay, Kevin. My air conditioning was down for three days,

of fans (sometimes still dripping wet). ;-)
You can repair grub using a text editor, which takes some knowledge of
both grub and the editor.
Or you can use a grub utility and repair it using the GUI. I'm not

As your Windows bootloader now seems to load grub when trying to boot
Debian, I think that's ok, and you don't have to move grub somewhere
else. The only thing now to do is to tell grub where the root
filesystem and the boot kernels are, so it can boot up Debian.
Interesting. I've never encountered this as my Windows machines are
